The Egyptian Book of the dead by P. Le Page Renouf and Edouard Naville

CHAPTER CIX.

_Chapter whereby one knoweth the Powers of the East._ I know that Eastern Gate of Heaven (the South of it is by the lake of Cha-ru, and the north of it by the stream of Reu), from whence Rā saileth with favouring gales.(1.) I am the Teller(2.) in the divine ship: I am the unresting navigator in the Bark of Rā. I know those two Sycomores of Emerald between which Rā cometh forth, as he advanceth over what Shu hath lifted up,[94] to every gate(3.) through which he proceedeth. I know the Garden of Aarru: the wall of it is of steel. The wheat of it is of 7 cubits, the ears of it of 2 cubits, the stalk of it of 4 cubits. The barley of it is of 7 cubits, and the ears are of 4 cubits, and the stalk of 3 cubits. It is the glorified ones, each of whom is 9 cubits in height, who reap them, in presence of the Powers of the East. I know the Powers of the East: Horus of the Solar Mount, the Calf in presence of the God,(4.) and the Star of Dawn. A divine Domain(5.) hath been constructed for me; I know the name of it; the name of it is the garden of Aarru. NOTES. Another recension of this chapter has been incorporated into chapter
